New Discoveries of Van Allen Belt and Earth's Magnetic Field

"The Sun has been a driver of these systems more than we had any right
to expect," says Daniel Baker, Principal Investigator, Van Allen Probes
Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope (REPT). "We're seeing brand new
features we hadn't expected." In a press conference on Dec. 4th members
of the Van Allen Probes science team discussed current findings made in
unlocking the mysteries of the radiation belts. Energetic events and
ejections of plasma from the Sun caused dramatic changes in the
radiation belts that, for the first time, were observed by twin
spacecraft within the belts.
"We expected to see a fairly placid radiation belt system," Baker
reports. "Instead, we see that the belts have been extraordinarily
active and dynamic during the first few weeks. We're looking in the
right places at the right times." The twin probes, built and managed for
NASA by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in
Laurel, Md., contain identical sets of five instrument suites. These
suites have confirmed previous hypotheses about the belts' behavior,
while also revealing that the belts are a far more dynamic and changing
environment than previously thought.
New Equation:
Increase Charged Particles =>Decreased Magnetic Field => Increase Outer
Core Convection => Increase of Mantle Plumes => Increase in Earthquake &
Volcanoes => Cools Mantle and Outer Core => Return of Outer Core
Convection (Mitch Battros - July 2012)
Our planet's magnetosphere captures charged particles from the billions
of tons of plasma ejected by the Sun and from other sources; fields and
waves of electricity and magnetism control and guide the charged
particles within the belts, with the particles "surfing" on the waves,
losing or gaining large amounts of energy along the way as they enter
and leave the region.
